Child Selected as New Miss America - Terry Mitchell
I have a major problem with the fact that 17-year-old Teresa Scanlan of Omaha, Nebraska, was recently selected as the new Miss America. Nothing personal against Teresa, but I find her selection completely outrageous. Why? Because, in the eyes of the law, a 17-year-old is a minor – a child.... Submitted 1 year 23 days ago.

A HAUNTED MANSION COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU - Sometimes I allow myself to get sucked into watching Ghost Hunters on the SyFy channel.

Hackneyed comedic material haunts "Hot in Cleveland" - Gerry Charbonneau
"Hot in Cleveland", the latest sitcom series to hit the airwaves this past summer , is at best an embarassing remake of the classic Golden Girls series of years gone by.

Man Vs Wild - Dangerous Advice? - Steve Gillman
There are some who say that the star of the television program Man Vs. Wild, Bear Grylls, is a fraud. I am not one of them. I think he has a lot of skills and training.
